Joanna Gemma Auguri will present her new record Hiraeth (Duchess Box) live at the UT. An impressive range of instruments, sounds and her fantastic voice. Elegant music with a darker pop appeal.
HIRAETH is a dream of the unconscious, it is a solace, a place where the unsaid finds a form. Music that gives space to all the emotions that lie dormant within us. The songs tell of the vulnerable side of being human, the fears and dreams that may not be realizable, and the place we may never reach. There is perhaps immeasurable power and inspiration in all these longings. And when the world comes to an end, this is the perfect, bittersweet soundtrack to it.
Post-Punk magazine describes the single What we call love as follows: "The song itself is a masterful blend of sultry tones and seductive melodies, reminiscent of the smoky vocal purrs of Portishead's Beth Gibbons and the ethereal soundscapes of Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser. With its jazzy undertones and a 60s vibe that harks back to the likes of Scott Walker and The Tindersticks, the track weaves a rich tapestry of sound that is both chill-inducing and romantically evocative. The piano and percussion elements, in particular, echo Fraser's collaboration with Massive Attack, creating a mesmerizing ambiance that softly vibrates the tiny hairs up and down your arms."
